Win prizes while you enjoy your summer reading! Participants can pick up Reading Bingo cards at the library beginning June 3. Participants must complete a minimum of four activities to qualify for a free gift and be entered into the prize drawing. The first 100 participants to complete the four activities will get a choice of a pocket-sized tool pen or a set of coloring postcards for adults. The reading program is open to Pleasanton library card holders ages 13 and older. Visit Pleasanton Library for more information.
